Thanks for the replies. My reason for asking is that I'm working with some android binaries where the compiled-in dirs point to a location in the filetree I need to change. Currently I get the smbd log error: smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(633) [original directory]/var/tmp does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [IPC$] I was hoping an override in smb.conf could get past this.
